The FC United connection to the Tameside Stadium has another chapter tonight as the reserves take on Curzon Ashton in a Lancashire League Western Division match. Kick off is at 7:45pm on the 3G pitch and the hosts will be charging £2 for adults and £1 for concessions.
Rhodri Giggs’s side are in with a chance of adding the Western title to last year’s Eastern Division win but face a stiff challenge from Colne who won twice this week to leave them two points behind with three games in hand and a better goal difference. A win tonight and in the two remaining games at New Mills (24th) and Hyde (30th) will set the East Lancashire club a target of 11 points from six games.
